All Stars Cricket Llandysul

Across Wales more than 2,000 children aged five to eight were introduced to All Stars last year – an innovation from the England and Wales Cricket Board to give children a chance to play the sport.

The All Star Programme gives children all of the skills – such as batting, bowling, throwing and catching – they need to develop a healthy attitude towards exercise. In all there are 130 centres across Wales from Menai Bridge in the north, Pembroke Dock in the south West to Newport Pirates in the east are giving children an introduction to cricket through an eight-week programme. That is up from 93 clubs last year.

By registering for All Stars Cricket, children will be guaranteed eight weeks of jam-packed fun, activity and skills development.

The enjoyment which the children get out of it is impressive, and the core skills which they learn are useful in a wide variety of sport, not just cricket - like rugby, football, netball, hockey and tennis.

It also teaches children the spirit of cricket – the importance of respecting others – and how to communicate and work as a team.

Every child that registers for the All Stars Cricket programme will receive a bonus participant pack, including a backpack, cricket bat, cricket ball, personalised shirt, cap, and activity book.
